I heard The New World was terrible. How did you find it?

[sorry, edited comment]

It was beautifully photographed, V., but I thought it was okay. I liked the actress who played Pocahantas (although you wouldn't know it was her; she's never addressed by that name). The only thing I really didn't like about the film were the voice-over parts (similar to The Thin Red Line) where the characters are waxing philosophical or asking questions of themselves. I swear that every one of the main characters used that way asked themselves "Who am I?" or "What am I doing?" or some such.

Hmm. Sounds like it would be worth watching if only for the cineamatography, then?

Yes, V. The cinematography is very good (Oscar nominated).
